This new villain sounds BASED.
Birkett was an ex-Tory MP, famous for promoting covid/vaccines/mask-wearing/5G conspiracy theories, which had spilled over into the usual anti-immigrant, anti-EU, anti-BBC, anti-MSM, anti-cultural Marxist, Climate Change Denial pronouncements. It was an anti-trans diatribe that had eventually got him kicked out of the party and he'd soon after set up the 'New Freedom Party'.
OH NO!
THE BOND SUPERVILLAIN DOESN'T LIKE OPEN BORDERS, THINKS MARXISM IS BAD, DISLIKES GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA, WON'T GET THE JAB, AND HATES GLOBALIST ELITES??
Bond was struck by something. It was a long while since he'd been at any kind of function that was almost exclusively full of men. It felt strange. There was not even a pretence at diversity here.
That's right: James Bond - the guy who used to stop commies who wanted nuclear war or mad scientists from poisoning the planet and repopulating it with a master race - now feels uncomfortable in a room full of (presumably white) men.
GASP!
Where are the gay flags? Where are the transgender activists of color? Where are the twerking drag queens? Is there anybody at all in this English gathering named Mohammed? HOW WILL BOND SURVIVE THIS??
In 20 years, we've gone from having M call Bond a misogynist pig:
To Bond becoming a neurodivergent queer ally who loves his globalist pals over at the WEF (which totally doesn't mirror the shadowy organization of elites plotting world domination like Spectre).
Athelstan hadn't been the least bit concerned about ensuring that half of the people he'd hired to carry out his coup should be women, or non-white, or disabled. This was an unapologetically old-school gathering. In Athelstan's world he was king and could do whatever he wanted.
HE DIDN'T HIRE WOMEN OR DISABLED PEOPLE FOR HIS EVIL ORGANIZATION!
Yes, this is for a real book called "On His Majesty's Secret Service" that came out this summer.
It would make Ian Fleming roll in his grave.
Give me the heir of England's founding king over woke Bond any day!
The woke create these idiotic straw men out of anyone who doesn't think exactly like them, then imagine them to be the supervillains plotting to destroy the world.
Ah yes, they think, it's the Jesus-following, conservative family man who doesn't believe unlimited illegal immigration from countries that don't share baseline values is the one who will destroy humanity.
What a great idea, they think, to have James Bond fight for a cranky old globalist and his elitist pals. That'll show those freedom-loving extremists who don't like totalitarian control imposed through a lab-created virus from China!
This is why Hollywood can't write good villains anymore. They'd make Darth Vader a church-going, monogamous married man who doesn't believe in the merits of universal healthcare. These people simply have no idea what good and evil even mean anymore!
RIP, Bond!
